Disney Has Black Lace Minnie Ears Now, & They Are Perfect For Halloween

Disney World isn't just for kids; it caters to a wide variety of visitors from all walks of life. If you're a goth teen or a dour Victorian spinster whose family wants to drag you to the park, you might feel a little out of place, but not anymore, because Disney has black lace Minnie Mouse ears now, according to HelloGiggles, and there's even a veil attached to the headband. You can wear it over the back of your head if you want to cultivate bride of the dead vibe, or flip it forward to obscure your face for a more mysterious look.

If you weren't following the summer fashion trends (because you are a tortured soul who cares not for fashion, and prefers to hang out with your best friend, the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe), you might not have heard about rose gold Minnie ears, which took Instagram by storm and continue to be nearly impossible to find. With Halloween fast approaching, it's likely that the new lace ears will become the next hot ticket item, so make a beeline for Orlando, because they're only available at Disney parks for $24.99. Well, officially, anyway. There are a couple pairs currently up on eBay, or you might be able to snag a set from another reseller, like Your WDW Store, for a bit of a markup.

But black lace Minnie Mouse ears (complete with veil) are a very specific accessory, so you might be hesitant to invest in something you'll really only wear for a few days while you're on vacation. Oh, you silly, sad person with the soul of a crow, you couldn't be more wrong! There are myriad occasions during which these ears are not only appropriate, they're practically mandatory! In fact, you're probably going to wonder how you ever got along without them. Here are just a few examples:

Junior Goth Club Recruitment Events

If your goth friends are all beginning to cover up their Joy Division tattoos, quitting clove cigarettes, and spending time outdoors in the daylight, it's time to induct some fresh blood into your crew. Hang around elementary schools and parks to meet new people. Kids will be drawn to your Minnie ears!

Mall Food Courts

Your ears are too goth for the Disney Store, but too cutesy for Hot Topic. So where's a girl supposed to loiter? The food court, the mall's great equalizer! Tuck into a table between Nathan's and Sbarro, where everyone, even a unique spirit like you, belongs.

The Woods At Dusk

Have a friend take sepia-toned photos of you for your Instagram story, or if you've got a little extra time, you can write, shoot, and star in an art film where Minnie Mouse is a metaphor for the ennui of lost youth. Don't forget to bring a fog machine!
